ravioli
Filled pasta parcels
Ravioli is a type of pasta consisting of a filling sealed between two layers of thin dough, forming small pouches or squares.
Traditional fillings include ricotta cheese, meat, or spinach, typically served with sauce.
The word is Italian and technically plural—a single piece is a raviolo, though English speakers rarely observe this distinction: We ordered the mushroom ravioli.
